These small, 10-inch-high tables gave Charles and Ray Eames the perfect place to serve chanoyu, the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, to special guests. They're also practical for everyday use as unique end tables, bedside tables, or occasional pieces.
The intricate base features two U-shaped steel rods attached to the top while cross members add stability. The tabletop is seven layers of Baltic birch plywood sandwiched between ash veneer or high-pressure laminate in Black or White. Select from Powder-Coat White, Black or Zinc base finishes.

Charles and Ray Eames
A chair that looked like a potato chip. Another that resembled a "well-used first baseman's mitt." A folding screen that rippled...
With a grand sense of adventure, Charles and Ray Eames turned their curiosity and boundless enthusiasm into creations that established them as a truly great husband-and-wife design team. Their unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture. Lean and modern. Playful and functional. Sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully simple. That was and is the "Eames look."
That look and their relationship with Herman Miller started with molded plywood chairs in the late 1940s and includes the world-renowned Eames lounge chair, now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In the late 1940s, Charles Eames noted all the "fantastic things being made of wire." That fascination led Charles and Ray Eames to develop a mass-production technique for simultaneously welding wire rods. One result was the wire-base table introduced in 1950. Their work yielded many other breakthrough products - including wire chairs, storage units, and elliptical tables.

Customer Reviews
This table is a classic and makes a statement.
The table is as modern and functional as it was when it was designed. It has clean, classic, sophisticated lines and can be used anywhere due to its small
size and scale. It's great to be used as a side table to place books next to your favorite chair, which is what I use it for, but it can be used as a pedestal, as a foot stool, to hold a lamp or just as a sculptural object. As with any Herman Miller product it is extremely well made and sturdy.
Herman Miller's 3D Intelligent back material is a seating technology designed for the SAYL™ Chair. The 3-dimensional mesh-like suspension material is stretched from the Y-Tower at the back of the chair just as cables are stretched from the towers of a suspension bridge. The tension is greater in the transition areas, from the thoracic to the lumbar regions and between the lumbar area and sacrum. "Hinge points" allow these areas to flex and support the healthy, forward rotation of the pelvis. At the same time, less tension in other parts of the back encourages a full range of seated movement.
Y-Tower
Y-Tower is the primary support structure of Herman Miller's SAYL™ Chair. The Y-Tower retains tension, replacing the traditional frame of task chairs. It works like the towers from which a bridge is suspended and combines with a 3D Intelligent suspension material to provide frameless back support that hugs the user's back from resting through reclining, forward leaning and twisting motions.
